Setting up a home wirless network.

If you have multiple computers in your home, you must set up a network for them all to have internet access. This used to mean stringing metres and metres of wire throughout your house and forcing you to drill holes through your walls for said wires. Now, you can quickly and easily set up a wireless network. As the name implies, this method does not require any wires or holes in your walls. But how do you set one up?

First you will need a WIRELESS ROUTER. This is essentially the brains of the network. This is what allows the network to function properly. Then you will have to add a wireless adapter to any computer on your network that does not have 1 built in. After this all you have to do is go to the networks section in the control panel (can also be accessed by a symbol in the bottom right corner of your screen) and attach the computers to the router. It is also advised that you take steps to secure your network against unauthorized network.
